  1. I'm a lot more used to having correctly color coded wireing Should have run each feed separately -but as I only had one length I just ran them as I did Whats the advantage to MEN connector?
  2. have a couple multi meters its all DIY-did all ,my own electrical back in Canada mostly 110-220
  3. black wires to sub panel are connected to main feed wires at 100 Amp breaker
  4. both main and sub are grounded to rods not sure if turning off sub panel-haven't tried yet as both wires are identical-theirs a chance they are reversed at sub panel how would i go about checking polarity? i'll take some pix
  5. No-sorrry 2 aluminum wires-heavy gauge similar to main house leads from pole/meter installed second ground just for sub-panel rather than run from main
  6. Hi I just installed a sub-panel in our guest house to handle increased electric usage ( mostly the air con) Connected the wire between the main shut off and the house panel and ran to sub-panel in the guest house and installed a ground out there Now the florescent and LED lights in the main house are all "ghost lights" -they always have a glow at night Also seem to have a really high elect bill now-almost double Any idea whats causing this and a recommended fix?
  7. Retired and LOTSA time-so Start a hobby- Bought a wood lathe and started turning Took up wood carving-now turn out totem poles and wood masks and plaques Built a forge so I could make quality tools for both the above With tending garden and orchard-never a dull moment
  8. Started off like you-couldn't get "real" bacon or ham back then Then graduated to sausage making and smoke curing meats Built a cold smoker and used coconut chips and fruit wood for a all-day smoke Led the way to smoked fish/smoked turkey and smoked cheese
